well if you really want to turn your spanish guitar into a drum,there is the cromacord pickup they make here for that purpose: Ive heard it and it actually sounds really nice,your whole guitar becomes a drum like a mic in front of you,but perhaps lacks the presence of a piezo: http://www.cromacord.com/english/start.html advantages:you can mount it on any guitar within a minute,natural sound etc.you could also combine it with your existing one. disadvantage:ive heard ohter people saying it feels bulky,they dont like the sound,it can feedback at times if u dont set it right and offcourse looks, if you mind that.But i am sure they are not as prone to feedback as a microphone and well,you can dance your rumbas canīt you! cheers Luis --- Daryl Shawn <highhorse@mhorse.com> wrote: > Well, I'd say it's decent for that, not outstanding. > It's really made to > try to cover a lot of bases, from classical playing > (has a nice neck, > not flat like a shredder's axe) to folk, so it > doesn't have such a > distinctive flamenco sound out of the box.
